“Meditation is for the mind
as exercise is for the body”

Think and reflect.”

If, you learn from that experience.”

than you do from others,
and lead by example!”

You must learn to respect yourself”

You must first understand yourself.”
“Before you can forgive others,
You must first learn to forgive yourself”

It is neither thick nor sturdy,
Yet when come the winds that fell the trees,
The bamboo laughs and survives.”

And shatters boulders,
But it does not harm the grass.”

for they shall not be bent out of shape.”

There is no possible victory in defeat.”

They are willing to either kill or die trying.”

And skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain...
All else is supplemental.”
"No greater enemy exists...
...then one's own illusion of safety."

not property, not gold, not even his own Life"
Thoughts on ‘Life’

Because those that matter... don't mind...
And
those that mind... don't matter."
Thoughts on ‘Ego’
“The harder you try to impress,
the quicker the fall of your pride.”
Thoughts on ‘Survival’
“Do not tempt fate,
For fate is fickle,
And laughs at fools and children.”
"Words of Wisdom"
You must isolate what you wish to do.
Most personal assaults fail because they attempt to do too much; not the least of which is to gain respect from the target.
Most people do this. They show off for their victim. This is because they wish not so much to harm the other person as to force the other to recognize their superiority.
If you learn no other lesson, learn this one, and it will do more to keep you from harm than any other:
The most dangerous man is the man who does not appear to be dangerous!
Murphy & Sapir (1970)
